Nikon D7000 Black 16.2 Megapixels Digital SLR Camera Body - D7000BODY

With the Nikon D7000 DSLR, you get professional features and image quality in a lightweight, compact body. Nikon left nothing out when creating this camera, making it perhaps the best enthusiast DSLR on the market.

Uncompromising Image Quality

The D7000 features an all new 16.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, for the most stunning image quality available in a DX-format camera. With a native sensitivity range of 100-6400 ISO (plus H1 and H2 levels), low light levels will not stop you from getting the perfect image. The D7000 sensor is also capable of spectacular 1080p HD video recording at multiple frame rates.

Professional-Level Speed

Everything about the D7000 was designed to be faster than the competition. The 39-point autofocus system rivals some full-frame cameras and is equipped with 9 cross-type points for quick, accurate focusing in all lighting conditions. 3D AF tracking helps focus on moving objects, which you can then capture at up to 6 frames per second.

Features:

High Resolution 16.2 MP DX-format CMOS sensor for large prints and tight cropping

High Speed 6 frames per second continuous shooting up to 100 shots captures the most fleeting action

I decided to upgrade my DSLR recently from a very serviceable D3000 and I had a few criteria I was looking at. It had to be a Nikon, I wanted a large, bright viewfinder, I wanted a focus motor in the camera and I wanted good low-light capabilities as well as easier access to full manual control. My plan was to pick up a D90 body after the D5200 was introduced and the price went down, but that changed after I held a D7000. I was ruined. Watching the prices I realized that the D90 was only a hundred bucks less than the D7000 so it wasnâ€™t worth considering. Iâ€™m not going to reiterate everything said in past reviews, so Iâ€™ll simply reflect on a few features I like so far. The Viewfinder- Bright, large and full of information. I can see what settings Iâ€™m changing without taking my eye from the viewfinder. Manual Settings- Very easy to access Low Light Capabilities- I normally set it at 160 (reminiscent of Kodak Portra) for normal shooting and have the automatic ISO set at a maximum of 6400 with a minimum shutter of 1/30th. I took a photo of my grandson at ISO 6400 and cropped the image after converting to black and white. Making it full screen on the laptop and zooming in on it to the equivalent of a 16x20. It still looked good with some noise that gave it the look of Tri-X-Pan. Indoor color shots of food (thatâ€™s my primary use of the camera, food blogging) at 1600 ISO are magnificent. Two card slots- Nice feature. I set it up so I shoot JPEG on one card and RAW on the second. Depth of Field Preview- I missed this feature on cheap cameras. Focus- Many people claim this camera has a â€˜back focusâ€™ issue. I canâ€™t say that I have it on mine; I canâ€™t say that I do. What I can say is that I find it to be the fastest focusing camera Iâ€™ve ever had. I also find that it focuses on what I want, most of the time. No camera will ever be 100% accurate. Sharpness- Pictures are sharp and clear. I set the color to vivid for everything but portraits. Live Screen- Nice, but I like the viewfinder. It doesnâ€™t like to autofocus as well in live mode as the camera uses a different (more archaic) focus system. I havenâ€™t used to video mode as yet, it wasnâ€™t important in buying the camera. Overall, Iâ€™d recommend this camera to the photographer who wants superb photos and ease of control.

I had to return mine due to burned out red, green and blue pixels in the video mode. No matter how nice the camera is, it isn't successful as a camera with video, without the video - one really can't have red spots on Sally's face unless she has smallpox, eh? Before you buy and keep your cameras, I suggest you run a simple test of your video. Go to Live Mode and Set the ISO to 1000 and the shutter to 100 and put a lens cap on and take some video. It should be all black. If it isn't. Take off the cap and open the shoot. The spots (colored pixels) will be on your video. It only takes one pixel a in inopportune place to ruin a picture. Unless you do something about this, check it out and if it happens to your camera, and don't return it, it won't get corrected. Black should be black. Color should be recorded as the right color, not with bad pixels over them.

I have used the D7000 for 10 months and it is incredible. The 39 AF points in 3D AF mode is incredible for tracking action. The 16 megapixel sensor is very sharp and captures every detail. The ISO range is good and I am able to use it confidently up to 4000 ISO. The video is average but for the quick little videos it works great! I love the D7000!

I've owned Nikon products for most of my adult life. Started with a Nikkormat when I was a teenager. I've worked professionally and semi-professionally as a photographer. Nikon products have always been excellent in quality and value. I started with DSLR's with a D3000 DSLR then went to a D5000 DSLR with a battery grip. I just purchased the D7000 from Amazon, got it and the MB battery grip slapped on a Nikkor 18-70 mm zoom and shot my oldest daughter's track meet yesterday. The camera handled like a dream shooting with Aperture Priority. Photos were crisp, well saturated, and the continuous drive at 6fps worked flawlessly. Over 1,000 photos later, I imported them into Apple's Aperture software as well as Nikon's Capture. I cannot say enough good things about this camera. It responded much more quickly than the D5000, and the features on it make photography a whole lot of fun. I'm still on the learning curve, but will undoubtedly learn to love this camera more as time goes on. We're off to another track meet next week and I can't wait.

I've been shooting for almost a decade now, and I love the Nikon D7000. It's quick, has excellent image quality (with the right glass), and good durability. The fact it's still selling strongly after nearly five years is a testament to its quality. Add a much lower price tag, and you've found a deal that cannot be beat. Reviewers may complain the video quality isn't good enough or it doesn't have newest fads built in such as GPS, wireless capabilities, etc. Call me old school, but the point of a camera is to take photos. If you'd like better video quality, there are plenty of camcorders available. And yes, wireless, gps, and such is great, but then again you're paying a premium for it. What photography boils down too is having a solid, reliable camera that can grab the shot you want. This is wha you'll find in the Nikon D7000.

The Nikon D7000 is an excellent, well built, compact, and high value DSLR. Its size, when coupled with Nikon DX lenses, makes for manageable transportation yet brilliant photographic results. Below is a photo of a Golden Eagle taken at a shutter speed of 1/400 of a second, an aperture of f/5.6, an ISO of 1000, Auto White Balance, and Center Weighted Metering.

I've been a long time Nikon user through the "F" series and then digital starting with a D1. Nikon has done a masterful job of advancing the technology including relative ease of use. The addition of the "U1" and "U2" settings feature has been a Godsend in speeding use in the field. The reduction in size of the frame is impressive and very helpful in our being very much on the go. It is hard to see how this cane improved on but knowing Nikon they will find a way. But for the foreseeable future, I'm more than satisfied, I'm very enthused about this camera.

Great camera at all levels. It has taken a beatin' and keeps on ticking. I've taken thousands of pics over 2 years and have been very happy with the results. Much better camera than my old D90. Post processing in LR4 and have been happy with output other than noise above ISO 800. I have recently purchased the D7100 with the improvements that will make it the new DX top dog. Nikon fixed one of my issues with the D7000: the mode dial on the top left would get accidentally moved too frequently and I'd starting shooting not realizing that the mode was switched. The D7100 now stops those slips. Still going to keep my D7000 because everything including the battery are interchangeable between D7000 and D7100 and it has proven itself over and over again as being fairly rugged and reliable. Even managed to come off a horse with me with no ill affects.

I've been wanting to go DSLR for some time and just didn't want to make the investment. Took the advise of a friend who has several Nikon's. I've tried the Nikon BDC riflescopes and loved the clarity and good glass. This is truly an amazing camera. A bit much for the beginner but, I decided what the heck, no sense in upgrading later and just went for it. It has all of the features you need to auto point and shoot through the manual operation of zoom, manual aperture, shutter control and much, much, much more. Easy to use, easy to learn. Excellent arrangement of menu controls that are very intuitive.
